[edit] I had to make a few modifications

There were 3 paragraphs on Mongolian invasion of Korea. This is quite odd, considering this is an article on Korean clothes. There were 2 statments which referred to Korea as a vassal of Mongolia (1300s), one paragraph after another. What does that have to do with the long history of Korean clothes. Silk which is the backbone of East Asian clothes were introduced to Korea in 200 BC. I think someone with a odd sense of humor was editing this site. I left one paragraph of the Mongolian info and added another sentence on Japanese silk/Kimono info to make it balanced. Although if who ever wants to take out both sentences that is fine with me. Maybe we should stick to describing when silk was introduced, what Gogoryeo, Baekje and Shilla clothes looked like, what Goryeo clothes/fashion was composed of and why current views of Hanbok only seems to focus on Joseon era, when their is a prior 2000 year history. --24.17.82.35 19:09, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Silk had little to do with Hanbok, or at least the variation of Hanbok that survived to this day, and Japanese Kimono and Hanbok are entirely unrelated. Much of your edits are nonsense. Not that the previous version was good either, but yours is by no means an improvement. Cydevil 01:24, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Assuming you can read Korean, please check these sources to get the basic idea of what Hanbok is and how it evolved:
